Deep Diver

The Deep Diving specialty at Orca Diving takes certified divers to the deeper sites in the l'Escala area and beyond. The centre operates across the Costa de l'Escala, the Parc Natural del Montgrí Illes Medes i Baix Ter, and the Parc Natural de Cap de Creus — all three zones have deeper profiles available, including walls and pinnacles that drop into blue water. The Janity handles transport from the Club Nàutic, fifteen metres from the centre door.

The course covers the physiological and practical aspects of deeper diving: gas consumption at depth, nitrogen narcosis awareness, bottom time planning. Theory runs in the centre's equipped classroom; open water sessions take place at appropriate sites chosen by the instructor based on conditions. Small groups are the standard format across all Orca Diving courses.

Cylinders are filled on the BAHUER compressor on site. Cressi-Sub rental equipment is available for students without their own gear. The instructors are accredited and run the daily guided dives as well as speciality courses, so they know the local deep sites and their conditions in detail.

At 230€, Deep Diving is mid-range in the speciality price list. It is a common follow-on from the Advanced Adventure for divers who did a deep adventure dive and want to formalise their skills and extend their depth range with a dedicated qualification.
